Event summary

Highlights

Annual march for 2SLGBTQ+ community on Main Street
Event proceeded after previous year's postponement due to safety threats
Premier Kinew and cabinet members attended
Security measures enhanced by organizers

The 2026 Steinbach Pride event took place on September 12, as members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community and supporters marched. This annual celebration publicly affirms identity and community strength, especially after the previous year's event was halted due to credible safety threats connected to far-right extremism. In response to these past threats, organizers, led by board president Chris Plett, implemented a security council to help ensure attendee safety.

The event saw attendance from public figures, including Premier Kinew and members of his cabinet, who expressed support. The premier highlighted the importance of holding Pride events in Steinbach and reflected on the advocacy of individuals like Mika Schellenberg, a former student who campaigned for updated diversity policies in local schools to better include 2SLGBTQ+ people. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, a small group of protestors also gathered, expressing opposition with signs featuring Biblical verses.
